Section 2: INSTALLATION REQUIREMENT

This appliance MUST NOT be installed into a bathroom or shower room, or where steam may

be present.

An extractor fan must not be fitted in the same room or space as the appliance as this can

affect the safety of the appliance.

The fire has been designed to fit into a Clay, Fibre or non-combustible fireback / chair-brick

conforming to BS1251. When used with manufactures hotbox of convector box will need to be

fitted into a fireplace or builders opening conforming to BS 1251 (and meeting certain

dimensional requirements), or a suitable flue box complying with the constructional

requirements of BS 715.

A natural draught flue system is required, and if previously used for solid fuel or oil burning,

the flue and chimney must be swept prior to appliance installation.

The flue must be checked before installation by using a smoke pellet or similar to ensure

proper draw and that leakage is not evident at any joints. Repair and re-test as necessary

before the appliance is installed.

Any flue box used must be installed onto a suitable non-combustible insulating surface at

least 12mm thick, covering the entire base area of the box.

The flue must have an effective height of at least three metres, as measured from the hearth

SECTION 4: VENTILATION

This Appliance does not normally require purpose provided ventilation.

However, if a second appliance operating within the same room or space must be taken into

consideration when assessing ventilation.

When commissioning the appliance spillage is detected, then amongst other problems there

may be insufficient natural ventilation for correct operation of the flue.

If spillage is detected with windows closed, but the appliance does not spill with the windows

open, this demonstrates a lack of natural ventilation.

If spillage is still detected with the windows open, the flue is at fault.

Installation of an air brick is the best solution to lack of ventilation.

Any ventilation fitted must comply with BS 5871 part 2 and BS 5440 part 2.

Air Vents fitted under or within the immediate vicinity of the appliance must not be used as

adverse effects to the operation of the Flame Safety Device (FSD) may occur.

Spillage detected during commissioning is almost always a result of poor flue performance

that cannot be corrected by any amount of ventilation.

For Republic of Ireland ventilation may be required, see IS 813, ICP3, IS

327, and any other rules in force.

Section 5: SITE REQUIREMENTS

The fireplace opening should be inspected and repairs made where necessary.

A chair brick or ceramic fireback may be required providing that they conform to BS1251:1987

This appliance requires a natural draught flue system which may be one of the following;

175mm (7in) minimum diameter lined brick or stone.

175mm (7in) minimum diameter twin wall flue conforming to BS715.

Any existing draught device situated under the fireplace must be sealed off.

The opening area must be non-combustible

.

The appliance requires a hearth with non-combustible surface of at least 300mm in depth and

12mm thick.

The top surface must be at least 50mm above the surrounding flooring level, or be

surrounded by a raised edge or fender 50mm high.

To enable the product of combustion to be cleared properly up the flue, the outlet at the back

of the appliance must have a 50mm minimum clearance between it and the back wall of the

opening or any other obstruction.

9

The area immediately above the outlet must form a smooth path into the flue.

Any type of fire surround used with this appliance must be adequately sealed to the wall and

floor; a combustible shelf may be fixed to the wall above the fire, providing that it complies

with the dimensions given below.

From Hearth to Underneath of Shelf with a depth of 150mm is 766mm add 12.5mm in height

for every 25mm increase to the projection of the shelf depth.

As with all heating appliances, any decorations, soft furnishings, and wall coverings (i.e. flock,

blown vinyl and embossed paper) positioned too close to the appliance may discolour or

scorch.

SECTION 5.1: PREFABRICATED FLUE BOXES

This appliance can be fitted into a number of flue boxes provided that the tray is used in

conjunction with the available hotbox or convector box minimum dimensions required for the

appliance complied with.

The frame of the fire, any back panel or other infill panels, and the flue box must be sealed

together so that there is no possibility of leakage between them.

The correct clearances to combustible materials (i.e. false chimney breast etc) must be

adhered to.

The manufacturers’ instructions for fitting the prefabricated box must be complied with at all

times.

To fit the fire using the cable fixing kit supplied, some minor adaption may be necessary for

certain flue boxes.

Please ensure the firebox does not obscure the flue box outlet.

The firebox, base of the flue box, and hearth below may be drilled to allow plugs and screws

to secure installation.

It is important that the sealing requirements of the appliance are met at all times and that

the flue box is sealed to any back or infill panel.

SECTION 7.1: PREPARING THE OPENING

Before installing the fire, check the flue for correct operation using a smoke pellet, all of the

smoke should be drawn up the flue and exit correctly from the terminal.

If problems are found DO NOT fit the fire until corrective measures have been completed.

Protect the decorative hearth whilst aligning the tray within the opening part of the packaging

or a dust sheet can be used.

Before running the gas supply into the opening, offer up the base plate to the fireplace to

check the fit is correct.

Drill 6mm holes through the base plate as shown in the image and fit the Rawlplugs and

screw down base plate.

You can now decide where to route your gas pipe, route holes are provided in the rear and

side of the base plate for use where concealed pipe work is required.

If fitting into a Hotbox or Convector secure the base plate into the slots in the box

Drill 2 x Fixing

SECTION 7.2 FITTING THE BURNER TRAY

Temporarily fit the burner tray and ensure a suitable gas route can be achieved.

If the fire is the manual control system, you can now place the burner tray into the base plate

making sure that the back lugs locate properly into the back of the plate.

Fit the two securing screws through the front plate ensuring that the plate is in front of the

front edge of the base plate, if using a Hotbox or Convector box then ensure the base plate is

behind the plate on the box.

Connect the gas supply and tighten the gas connections.

If the fire is the remote control version then carefully place the control box in position and re-

connect the burner tray.

Connect the gas supply and tighten the gas connections.

13

Remote Control options will need the 3 x AA batteries (Ever Ready Energisers alkaline battery

maybe used or Lithium type batteries can be used) to be placed within the valve

compartment and 2 x AA batteries for the hand set.

Note:

Fitting the batteries incorrectly could lead to damaging your control box.

Different types of batteries or old and new batteries are not to be mixed.

Only batteries of the same or equivalent type as recommended are to be used.

Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity.

Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the fire.

The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.

Do not use rechargeable batteries.

Non-re-chargeable batteries are not to be recharged.

Do not mix old and new batteries.

Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon zinc) or re-chargeable batteries.

SECTION 8: FUEL BED LAYOUT

Place the filtration granules in the base of the tray and fill to the top and level off.

Place the two aeration ceramic sections on either side.

14

Now place 4 coals across the back and four coals across the front these may vary in size and

shape also you can over hang the cast edges of the tray to help fill in the outer areas of the

opening, leave a gap close to the pilot to help with cross lighting.

Place the middle row of 5 coals/pebbles between the front and rear coals and across the

aeration sections as shown.

15

Now Place the next rows as shown below, coals may be rotated slightly within their positions

to give a good visual effect.

Now Place another row of 4 as shown below, again coals may be rotated slightly within their

positions to give a good visual effect.

Note: The coals must not be crammed together, or inserted into the holes in the matrix,

a well laid out, generously spaced coal layout will give the best results.

16

Place the last 2 coals in to position again as shown in the image below.

Place your fire front/ fret into position in front of the fire and slide the ashpan door into place.

The fire front/fret supplied with the appliance, we strongly recommend you use one supplied

by Sirocco fires as these products will have been tested with the appliance, although other

fire front/frets will be compatible.

The pebble fuel bed option is placed in the same configuration only using pebbles supplied.

The Log set can be used and configured as shown below.

Section 9: COMMISSIONING THE APPLIANCE

Turn on and test the gas supply up to the fire for any leaks, in accordance with current

Approved Codes of Practice (ACOPs)

Section 10: OPERATING THE APPLIANCE

(See Section 18 Users Instruction)

SECTION 11: SETTING PRESSURE

Remove the pressure test point sealing screw from the isolation elbow and attach a suitable pressure

gauge.

Check that the standing inlet gas pressure is at 20 mbar

Light the pilot and check the correct operation of the burner at all the flame settings.

Refer to the Operating instructions section 10.1

Check that the inlet gas pressure is at 20 mbar when the fire is at its highest setting.

Once the fire has been lit for 5 minutes, turn the gas OFF at the isolating elbow.

After a further 3 minutes turn the gas supply ON again, if the gas has stopped flowing, the Flame

Supervision Device (FSD) is operating correctly.

Always check that the gas has stopped flowing even if you hear the FSD valve close within the 3-minute

period.

Turn OFF the appliance and the gas supply and refit the pressure test point sealing screw.

19

SECTION 12: FLUE SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM

Remote controlled fires are fitted with a flue spillage safety device (ODS).

If the fire shuts down during use for no apparent reason then several things may be

suspected, if a door or window has been opened creating a draught, then pilot disturbance is

the problem, and removal of the draught should resolve this.

The gas pressure reaching the fire must also be checked (again, recalls your installer to check

and rectify any problem).

The thermocouple connection into the back of the gas control valve may also have worked

loose during installation, simply get the installer to tighten.

If pilot disturbance is not the cause, then the ODS safety system may be in operation.

Switch the appliance OFF, check the flue and carry out any remedial work required.

Relight the fire and carry out a spillage test, DO NOT allow the appliance to be used if it

continues to fail a spillage test.

The aeration hole of the pilot must be carefully cleaned out on each annual service to ensure

continued function of the ODS.

The spillage monitoring system shall not be adjusted, modified, or put out of operation by the

installer.

Any spare parts fitted MUST be of a type supplied for the purpose by the appliance

manufacturer.

If the fire is not spilling, then further guidance should be sought, using the Troubleshooting

section as a guide.

SECTION 13: TESTING FOR SPILLAGE

Close all doors and windows to the room containing the appliance.

Let the fire run on HIGH for five minutes.

Take a smoke match, light it, and using a smoke match tube, hold it at the top edge of the

fire opening, 25mm down and 25mm in.

Run the smoke match across the opening, all the smoke should be drawn away up the flue.

Any smoke returning into the room indicates that spillage is occurring.

If the initial spillage test fails, run the fire for a further 10 minutes and repeat the test.

When the test has been completed satisfactorily, repeat with any extractor fans in the

premises running on the highest setting, and any communicating doors open.

Finally, repeat with all doors open.

DO NOT allow the fire to be used until the test is satisfactorily passed.

20

SECTION 14: BRIEFING THE CUSTOMER

All instructions must be handed to the user for safekeeping.

Show the customer how to light and operate the fire.

After commissioning the appliance, the customer should be instructed on the safe use of the

appliance and the informed for the need of regular servicing.

Frequency of service depends on usage, but MUST be carried out at least once annually.

Cleaning of the fire may be achieved when the fire is cold using a damp cloth and mild

detergent on most surfaces, with the exception of the ceramic fuel bed.

A soft brush i.e. paint brush may be used to clean the ceramic fuel bed taken care not to use

excessive pressure.

Scratched and other superficial damage to the matt black paintwork of the appliance can be

covered with matching heatproof spray.

Use only the manufacturers’ recommended spray paint.

Paint only when the fire is OFF and cold. Always mask off the surrounding area to prevent

contamination with overspray.

Ventilate the room during the use of the spray. DO NOT attempt to spray paint the coals or

ceramics, or wash them in water.

Advise that the fire will emit a “newness” smell for a time after initial commissioning and that

extra ventilation may be needed during this time.

Advise that the fire is fitted with a spillage safety device (O.D.S.). If the fire shuts down, this

system may be in operation.

If spillage is suspected, SWITCH APPLIANCE OFF and call in the installer to investigate any

problems.
